To Professor Lucas and Paula -- With Gratitude and Respect…read more Some people teach you a skill. Others change your life without ever realizing the full impact they've had. Lucas and Paula, you are the kind of people who do both. 5 years ago, I became part of a jujutsu school that I thought would teach me martial arts. What I found was something far more meaningful: a family. Lucas, you and Paula made an incredible sacrifice when you left Brazil and everything familiar to pursue the possibility of a new life in America. Starting over in a new country takes courage, faith, and a willingness to risk everything for the chance to build something better. What you've built is so much more than a school. It is a legacy. There is something truly special about the environment you've created. In a world where so many people feel disconnected, your school has become a place where people belong. It is a place where friendships become family, where discipline becomes confidence, where adversity becomes strength, and where people discover that they are capable of far more than they ever imagined. You set out to teach jujutsu, but the impact of what you've created reaches far beyond the mats. You've helped people become healthier, stronger, more confident, and more disciplined. You've given people purpose, direction, and something to work toward when life gets difficult. You've helped shape young people into warriors, not just in the physical sense, but in the way they face the world. And I have no doubt that the lessons and support found within your school have changed--and in some cases, even saved--lives. That is a remarkable thing to accomplish, and I hope you both understand just how much it matters. And now, as you raise your beautiful baby Gabriel into the world, you get to begin an entirely new chapter. You've spent years helping shape the lives of so many others, and now you have the opportunity to raise a little boy in the very same spirit of courage, kindness, discipline, and love that you have shown to everyone around you. If he grows up with even a fraction of the character you both possess, he will be a very fortunate young man. Lucas and Paula, thank you for taking the risk, making the sacrifices, and building something that means so much to so many people. Thank you for the example you set, the family you've created, and the lives you continue to touch. Being part of this school for the past six years has meant more to me than I can adequately put into words. I hope the love, loyalty, and respect you have poured into others come back to you tenfold. You deserve every bit of happiness, success, and recognition that life has to offer. You came to America in pursuit of a better life, but along the way, you've made life better for so many other people. That is a legacy worth being proud of. With all my respect, gratitude, and love for you both.

We have been with Elite Taekwondo for about 7 years now. Our experience with this place has been…read morereally wonderful. As many other reviewers have said, at first, we were a little hesitant to sign up for a rather long contract with little children, but because of the commitment we had made, it was motivation for us as well to push ourselves when we had our ups and downs. For the first contract period, our two kids joined the training because we brought them and they were ok with it. The next contract up until they earned their black belt, they chose to join because they wanted to complete the first part of the journey they had started. For their second degree black belt, they wanted to learn more so they both asked to join. Throughout the years, they have had moments when they didn't want to go here and there. But eventually, they learned the valuable lesson of commitment. We read the contract and knew what we were signing up for. I don't agree with some of the statements that there is no way of getting a refund. If it is not simply a change of mind, for situations like moving away (there was a distance stated in our contract,) you can get your money back. It is a contract. I believe Grandmaster Kim has the full right to make decisions on how to run his business just like we have our right to choose to be customers or not. It is not a charity but a business. I don't doubt Grandmaster Kim knows he is taking a risk of losing potential customers by insisting on a long term commitment. If you are only in business for money, It may be easier to earn more when you take many more short term trainees. I particularly love the fact that the contract is set based on how many classes you get to take and you get to keep them until you reach the goal you have set. As we went through our lives, especially with young children, we had to slow down sometimes and the arrangements he had made allowed us to do so without getting stressed out. And more importantly, my kids got to experience the joy of completing a goal they have set without giving up. There are always pros and cons in everything and since there are plenty of people focusing on the cons, I wanted to address some pros we appreciate. We respect and appreciate Grandmaster Kim's dedication to a life of Taekwondo. He is a 7th degree black belt and it takes longer and longer to move up to the next degree as you go. Not only that, in Korean culture Taekwondo requires you to be diligent in other areas of your life as well to move on. It teaches confidence, persistence, resilience, and hard work. That is part of the nature of this martial art. If someone is not happy with these particular traits, they clearly don't understand and I agree that they should not have signed up. It is not for them. He has achieved something and he is still going, and I want my kids to learn from and be exposed to those character traits. Our kids have had lots of positive influence from him and have grown noticeably since they first joined. My kids are not naturally gifted when it comes to physical activities. They had some struggles here and there, but every experience has been valuable to them. Taekwondo alone is not going to shape their character, and I agree it is more up to us as their parents. However, I am confident that it definitely has brought many positive effects in my kids lives.

Get ready, this will be a long one…read more.. My 8 year old son has been taking TKD classes here with the owner/main instructor Grandmaster Kim for a lil over a year and he loves it. He also has 3-4 instructors with him to assist in the class. From what I have seen, they are encouraging, supportive and patient. Yes the instructors all still wear their masks but I don't see anything wrong with that. Unless you are an anti masker, then you are prob cringing. Lols There are two rows of chairs inside for parents/guardians to stay and watch the kids. I like how they mop the floor mat after every class. Kids are taught the correct TKD techniques while getting physical activity in like jumping jacks, push-ups, running, stretching, etc. Yes it can be a lil fast paced so if your child is one who needs slow step by step instruction, then this might not be the class for them. As well as if your kid doesn't like being active they probably won't like TKD either. The kids are also taught to be respectful for example, addressing the instructors with yes sir and yes mam which I think is great. The kids are given a workbook for reference with all the steps in it. If your child needs extra help, I've seen the instructors guide them to the side for a lil one on one as needed. I've never seen them be hard on the kids. They also make it fun with board breaking days and relays. *Things to think about* I agree, the contract to sign up is long- about a yearish from start until the green belt. Once you finish that, then you may choose to stop or sign up for another contract for the black belt path. If your child decides say half way through they don't want to do it anymore then unfortunately you are SOL. You don't get a refund! TKD is an investment and I guess in a way teaching your child not to give up. The "two week free trial" is technically only three classes. So I can see it being tough for some kids to decide if they like it or not. But my kids' swim, dance and gymnastics classes only offered one free trial class so... Lessons are not the cheapest and there are extra fees like each time you graduate to another belt and any equipment like gloves and sparring accessories. Grandmaster Kim does offer payment plans. He will give you all the paperwork and fees to look over before you decide to sign up. I know some people wrote they was pressured into signing up their child but I never felt pressured at all by Grandmaster Kim. I was able to bring the info back to discuss with my husband. He did ask me to write a review on Google once but not for a discount or anything in return. I've had businesses ask me to write a review also so it's not weird to me.
